How does Lavinia work with Knowledge Pool?
Asked by Snap157 5 years ago
I'm thinking about making a competetive Lavinia, Azorius Renegade deck, and I was wondering if Lavinia + Omen Machine creates a hard lock?
Does Lavinia combo-lock with Knowledge Pool?

Neither case is a "perfect" lock, but they are pretty close. Both of them can be dealt with via on board abilities. In Omen Machine's case, if they already have access to an answer (Shatter, Reclamation Sage, and the like), they can just use it. Knowledge Pool can be dealt with by cards cast from other zones besides the hand. Flashing back Ancient Grudge for example, or by an uncounterable spell out from under the pool (Abrupt Decay). In reality, though, both would likely prompt concessions as they will quickly know whether they can get out from under it in a reasonable amount of time.
